Okay.
And yet, they were raised as siblings, right? Or no?
Oh, yeah, baby, it's snakalicious in here.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think they were raised as a pack -- 19 of them, with the expectation that they'd breed.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?

Pretty much. Though Singh refers to them as brothers and sisters and his children, he also sees them as the future of humanity, which they can't really be if they don't produce offspring.
I've been fairly impressed with Enterprise this year so far. Not in a "OMG it's so kewl" sort of way but in a "Wow, it actually doesn't suck" way.

I'd be more impressed if they'd called ahead to Cold Station 12 and told them to junk the embryos.
Or at least addressed why they didn't.

That bothered me too. I mean, they were obviously contacted because they were on alert. I mean, there was a discussion that embryos weren't destroyed initially because of public outcry, but some explanation of recent politics on the matter would have been nice.
Still, better than last season which I gave up on around episode 4 or 5.

God, yes, much better than last year. Or maybe it's just taking up the space left by me chucking Andromeda.
No, it's better than that.

Really, the part that I was wondering about is why they have a chamber sized perfectly for a person to stand in that they can pump diseases into? Do the researchers randomly infect and cure each other for fun? Torture by genetically-engineered super-soldiers aside, what purpose would a thing like that actually serve?

You make a very good point.
I wonder about the Augments -- the only way they could be more proto-Nietzschean is if they'd quoted ... wait, no ... scratch that. I expect arm spikes by the end of the season.
